Non-Traditional Selected Response Item
Key and Distractor Analysis: A. Does not understand how to model
multiplication of two two-digit numbers using area models.
B. Correct C. Did not account for the values
of the digits in the tens places. D. Correct E. Did not understand that the 1 represents 10 in the multiplication problem F. Showed multiplication of 17 and (1 + 2) instead of 17 and 12 Responses to this item will receive 0–2 points, based on the following: 2 points: B, D 1 point: Either B or D 0 points: Any other combination of selections.

MULTIPLE PARTS OPTIONS
Non-Traditional Selected Response Item
Scoring Rubric: Responses to this item will receive 0–2 points, based upon the following: • 2 points: YNYN The student has a solid
understanding of ⅖ as well as the equivalent form of ⅖. • 1 point: YNNN, YYNN, YYYN The student has
only a basic understanding of ⅖. Either the student doesn‘t recognize an equivalent fraction for ⅖ or doesn‘t understand that all 5 parts must be equal-sized in figure 1b. • 0 points: YYYY, YNNY, NNNN, NNYY, NYYN, NYNN, NYYY, NYNN, NNNN, NYNY,
NNYN, NNNY. The student demonstrates inconsistent understanding of ⅖ or answers “Y” to figure 1d, clearly showing a misunderstanding of what ⅖ means. Figure 1d is considered a “disqualifier “and an answer of “Y” to this part of the item would cancel out any other correct responses as “guesses” on the part of the student.
Non-Traditional Selected Response Item
Match each shape below to its name. Scoring Rule:
Students who properly match the four shapes to their name will receive two points.
Students who make two or three correct matches will receive partial credit of one point
All other connections will receive a score of 0.
Non-Traditional Selected Response Item
Purpose of Constructed Response Items
• Constructed Response items – Address assessment targets and claims that
are of greater complexity – Require more analytical thinking and reasoning
Administration ofConstructed Response Items
• Administered during the computer-adaptive component
• Scored using artificial intelligence
• Most constructed response items take between 1 and 5 minutes to complete
• Some more complex items may take up to 10 minutes to complete
A teacher asked her students to use estimation to decide if the sum of the problem below is closer to 4,000 or 5,000.
496 + 1,404 + 2,605 + 489 =
One student replied that she thinks the sum is closer to 4,000. She used the estimation shown below to support her reasoning.
Is the student’s reasoning correct? In the space below, use numbers and words to explain why or why not. If the student’s reasoning is not correct, explain how she should have estimated.

Components of aConstructed Response Item
Sample Top-Score Response:
The student’s reasoning is incorrect. She was rounding to the thousands place. She had 2 numbers that were less than 500, and she decided to round these numbers to 0. This is like saying these numbers were not in the problem at all. She needs to account for these two numbers. Together, they have a sum that is very close to 1,000. I think adding 1,000 + 1,000 + 3,000 is a better strategy. This means the sum is closer to 5,000 than to 4,000.
TOP-SCORE
Scoring Rubric: Responses to this item will receive 0–2 points, based on the following:
2 points: Student has thorough understanding of how to estimate and how improper estimation can lead to flawed reasoning. Student states that the student in the scenario used reasoning that is incorrect and provides reasoning that shows a better estimation strategy.
1 point: Student has partial understanding of how to estimate and how improper estimation can lead to flawed reasoning. Student states that the student in the scenario used reasoning that is incorrect, but alternate estimation strategy is also flawed.
0 points: Student has little or no understanding of how to estimate and how improper estimation can lead to flawed reasoning. Student states that the student in the scenario used reasoning that is correct.
SCORING RUBRIC
Qualities of a Rubric
• Focus on the essence of the primary claim and sometimes secondary claim
• Address the requirements of the specific assessment targets
• Distinguish between different levels of understanding and/or performance
• Contain relevant information, details, and numbers that support different levels of competency related to the item or task
Essential Requirements of Selected Response and Constructed Response Items
• Aligned to claims and assessment targets
• Mathematical accuracy
• Clarity, readability, and accessibility
• Free from bias issues
• More complex constructed response items may include scaffolding
• Selected response items must have appropriate distractors
General Guidelines for Developing Selected Response and Constructed Response Items
• Each item should be written to assess a primary claim
• Secondary content claims are also possible
General Guidelines for Developing Selected Response and Constructed Response Items
• May include mathematical concepts detailed in the Common Core State Standards for lower grades
• Central focus
• Clearly stated to ensure that students understand the task
• Clearly elicit the desired evidence
• Appropriate grade-level difficulty, cognitive complexity, and reading level
• Depth of Knowledge considered
• Grades 3–5: items do not require a calculator
